"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay. I did it. All hail the power of consensus.

Is my spoiler warning enough? Too much? Is it irritating to have the bold in the slug or does it mess anything up?

Looks fine. You'd know you were going to get spoilers when you went over there to subscribe. And since it's in the slug you don't see it all the time.

Thanks!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, the thing I worry about is that people may have still been subscribed to the closed thread and not know about it. I better go post in press, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Bold looks fine. And Press is a good idea too. Better one-post spam than sorry, in this case.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay. There. I also put the first post as a warning, so that should give eye-aversion time for those just hitting Read New.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Voting is still open for almost seven hours.

It's 12:00am in Israel. Nilly probably won't have them counted until the morning.

Suggestions for titles! I presume slug, etc., will be basically the same as that of Heroes.

  • Saving People, Hunting Things - The Family Business
  • I usually draw the line at necrophilia
  • Must you cheapen the moment?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Family business, for the first one.
